Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 414 Break its dog's head!

Look at it is about to enter March, the cold wind has gone, and the spring breeze is coming.In the spring breeze, all kinds of flowers are rushing to bloom, and everywhere is dyed with bright colors.Outside the city of Xiangyang, there are large groups of flower-watchers in every city.Wander in the sea of ​​flowers during the day, and return at dusk.

Wang Xiaoli prepared wine and invited Liu Ziyu to enjoy the flowers in the garden.The garden belonged to the transfer envoy of Southwest Beijing Road. After Wang Xiaolie took over, it was rearranged.Now the flowers are in full bloom, which is a good time to enjoy the flowers.

Sitting down in the pavilion shaded by several magnolia trees, the soldiers brought out the wine.Close to the pavilion, several bauhinias are in full bloom.The whole tree is covered with flowers, like several fires.

After looking at the flowers for a while and drinking a few glasses of wine, the topic returned to military affairs.

Liu Ziyu said: "In the past few days, I heard people say that the Zhenfu army is being reorganized. I don't know if it is true or not?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right. The councilors know that my army has always been messy since it started from King Qin. Now that there are many troops, they must be reorganized into a formal army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to manage."

Liu Ziyu said: "I've heard people talk about the establishment of the Zhenfu reorganization. Compared with the present, the hierarchy is too dense and there are too many officers. With all due respect, raising soldiers is very expensive. Among them, the most expensive thing is to raise officers. The officers in the Fujun Army set up too densely, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said, "Are there many? Actually, not many. There is no martial arts team in my army, and there are no more officers than other armies."

After hearing this, Liu Ziyu paused.At this time, there were a lot of rewards in the army, and some middle- and lower-level officers in the army gathered together. Many of them were martial arts masters, and many of them were as good as soldiers, so they were jokingly called the martial arts team.Although these people do the work of soldiers, they receive the salaries of officers.

After a pause, Liu Ziyu said: "The governor has fought a lot of battles, how can he not be rewarded for his military exploits?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "There must be rewards for meritorious deeds. But merits are different from merits. Some are brave in battle and strong in martial arts, while others have shown leadership skills. Those with leadership skills will be promoted, otherwise they will only be credited and not promoted. There are many ways to reward people, not just rewards.”

Seeing Liu Ziyu was still full of doubts.Wang Xiaolie added another sentence: "Different from other armies, soldiers in our army are enlisted according to military service, and their wives, children, and parents do not follow the army. Most people would rather record their merits and raise their own lintels." , to make parents, wives and children feel better, and don’t want those few cash. This is different from the previous imperial guards.”

After hearing this, Liu Ziyu couldn't help asking: "I don't know how much the soldiers of the Zhenfu Army pay per month?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "For ordinary soldiers, three hundred wen a month. But their food and clothing are all in the army, so they don't have to spend their own money."

For the soldiers of the Song Army, one month's worth of money was spent in the army, [-] to [-] in the middle army, and [-] to [-] in the army.However, most of the imperial army's income is monthly rations, and the salary is only for spending.It is different in Wang Xiao's hunting army, whether it is a general or a soldier, all they get is salary, not food.

Liu Ziyu thought for a while, didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh.Whether it's recruitment or organization, whether it's training or combat, whether it's life or food, Wang Xiaolie's army is so different from other armies, who can explain clearly?

After a while, Liu Ziyu said: "Since the disaster of Jingkang, this dynasty has fought against the Jin army for five or six years. Except for the few victories in Zhenfu in the past two years, it can be said that it has been a series of consecutive defeats. There are too many defeats. Slowly sum up the characteristics of the Jin army. In general, the Jin Dynasty is Meng'an Mouke, soldiers in wartime, farmers in peacetime, and all people are soldiers, which is very different from our recruitment and recruitment. The structure of Meng'an Mouke Simple, with one order, the army can be assembled immediately. Compared with it, the system of Baojia in this dynasty is similar. But until now, Baojia has been abolished, and there is nothing to do."

"And compared with this dynasty, the golden army is not much different from top to bottom. Even if the prince and general wear rough clothes and eat rough food, they are united as one. The most important thing in the army is that it is hard to get the hearts of the people. How can our army be able to trust the golden army? For comparison? Those of us who lead the army must be careful not to be well-clothed and well-fed. If we lose the hearts of the soldiers, it will be very difficult to fight. Just this, how many people can do it?"

"The military discipline of the Golden Army is extremely strict. When the commander gives an order, no one dares to disobey. When charging, anyone who looks back will be killed immediately! Under such severe punishment, everyone has the will to die, and the combat power is naturally strong."

"As for the others, the golden army has more horses, so naturally there are more cavalry. Although the golden army is not good at cavalry, everyone has horses, and they can quickly go from one place to another. When they win, they chase and flee. Even if you lose for a while, you can retreat. Needless to say.”

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "The counselor is right. The Jin army does have these characteristics, so it is particularly difficult to fight."

Liu Ziyu said: "Talking this to Zhenfu is to remind Zhenfu that when reorganizing the army, you can't just follow your own ideas, and you should refer to the Jin Army more. If we can win so many games against us, it means that the Jin Army is very strong and we need to fight more." study."

Wang Xiaolie was speechless for a while.After a while, he said: "Study? What are you learning? The Jin army is completely different from us. Decades ago, they were still fishing and hunting between the white mountains and the black waters. There are divisions in the clan, and many tribes do not speak the same language. After the founding of the country, Everything is simple, because they can’t understand the complicated management. For example, Meng’an Mouk’s biggest feature is simplicity. When it was a tribe, it could quickly unify several departments. There are few daily affairs, so such a simple system can adapt. But occupying the Central Plains, they still use the Meng'an Mouke system. How to rule? The method of the Jin people is to make people from other tribes slaves and be enslaved by them. The households cannot be compared with our households. I don’t know how many slaves there are in one household. With such a system, no matter how large the place is occupied, the mobilization ability cannot be improved. Therefore, the Jin Dynasty now occupies a vast territory , its core force is still no more than 10,000+ people. Every time an expedition is made, a few slaves must be placed under the main soldiers. Counselor, how do we learn such a military system? We Han people have our own system that suits us, and we must be ourselves. It's number one."

Seeing Liu Ziyu's displeasure on his face.Wang Xiaolie said again: "It's an inappropriate metaphor. For example, a person was bitten by a dog when he was unprepared. There are many reasons for being bitten. A person only needs to analyze the reason and bite himself. Just how powerful your dog is, you don’t need to imitate the dog yourself and bite back. What people have to do is to change their negligence, find a stick, and smash the dog’s head that bit their own dog! With Jin Jun In comparison, we are humans, and Jin Jun is a dog, what to learn!"

Hearing Wang Xiaolie's words, Liu Ziyu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.This is the first time I have heard such a metaphor.In the face of the aggressive attack of the Jin army, these words are even a bit outrageous.

Is there anything worth learning from Jin Jun?Of course there is.Wang Xiaolie did not give up studying either.But war has its laws, and politics has its laws.Wang Xiaolie's study is under the framework of the law of war and the law of politics.Instead of caring about indiscriminately, because you are defeated by the opponent, you will learn when you see that the opponent is different from yourself.

If you are bitten by a dog, you will learn the appearance of a dog, and even wish to change your own appearance, and put a dog's head on it. Isn't this a dog-headed military commander!

If it was a few months ago, Wang Xiaolie would not have said such things.It's not right or wrong, but lack of self-confidence.If the status is not reached, no one will believe it if you say it, and it will even be ridiculed.But it's different now.Regardless of the number of people or combat power, Wang Xiaolie has become the most powerful military group in the Song Dynasty.Including Zhao Gou, no other force was stronger than Wang Xiaolie.Why listen to other people's pointing?
Liu Ziyu's thoughts are not surprising.In fact, most officials in the Song Dynasty had this idea.Whether it is the main combat faction, the main peace faction, or even the surrender faction, they all believe that if they want to defeat the Jin army, they must learn from the Jin army.

Not just this era.In the late Qing Dynasty, China was invaded and completely defeated by the great powers, and this kind of thinking is still the mainstream.At that time, Mao Zedong's arguments were rampant, and some people even advocated that even Chinese characters should be abandoned, and the language should be fully Latinized.As for Chinese culture, it is considered by many people, especially cultural leaders, to be trash to be discarded.

In the face of the crisis of national ruin and family ruin, how can we change to deal with the crisis?Most people have no idea.For a small number of people with ideas, speaking out their ideas is nothing more than being laughed at.Only the true brave can stick to their own ideas, and after practice, they will be accepted by others.

What about ideas that no one agrees with?Of course, there are well-informed people who have gone abroad and told others that this is the case abroad, because China was defeated in this way.How to do?Learn from abroad.Will I learn it wrong?Some people will tell you that this is the case abroad, so China has been defeated.China has been defeated, why don't you learn from foreign countries and want to subjugate the country?
As long as you are Chinese, you must have heard this argument.The reason why China lagged behind in modern times was because of culture, especially Confucian culture.Because China is a Confucian culture, it will fall behind, it will not be able to fight, and it will be bullied.To save China, Confucianism must be eliminated.It is far from enough to transform Confucianism when it starts to lead China from abroad. It is necessary to eradicate Confucianism from the root in the pre-Qin period.Some advocate Legalism, while others advocate Mo Ding. One says the rule of law, and the other says that only science can save China.

right?God knows!Literati are bold.A civilization that has lasted for thousands of years dares to say that culture is rubbish with a big mouth.The glory in history, with a wave of his hand, is all fake.Not only to learn from foreign countries, but also to learn everything, even colonizing for 300 years.

In the face of internal and external difficulties, how to save China?Wang Xiaolie didn't know what to do was right, but he knew that any foreign country in history, whether it was Britain, the United States, France, Russia, or Japan, was wrong.As long as you learn from a foreign country, you must be wrong.China is China, and to save China, only China can use its own methods.It is impossible to use other people's methods.There are hundreds of countries in the world, but no one has succeeded.

Why did modern China lag behind?Some people say that China has technology but no science, and thought but no philosophy.Culture seems to be brilliant, but in fact it is useless.Some people say that China emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce, so that industry and commerce cannot develop.Some people say that there is no deduction and induction in Chinese culture, and some people say that ancient China was dominated by the government and capitalists could not develop.Some people even say that science and technology are miraculous skills and obscenities because China has no patent law, and that China has no martial arts spirit.

Is there any truth to these claims?Of course it makes sense.Are these claims necessary?Of course it is necessary.Are these statements correct?Of course not.When you have more ideas and opinions, you can think deeply about problems, and only then can you truly understand the world.Use these statements and ideas as a reference, carefully analyze practical problems, and link theory with practice.Transforming theory with practice and guiding practice with theory are both indispensable.Only by doing it in a down-to-earth manner can we find a solution to the problem.

How to save China in ancient times?There are many answers.Many people say that of course it is to develop capitalism and overthrow feudalism.Wang Xiaolie can say with certainty that doing so will definitely fail.China may rise, capitalism will fail.Or if capitalism succeeds, China will almost certainly not be able to rise.In human society, how can there be a certain formula to apply?The formula of feudalism and capitalism, besides the few countries summarized, which country can it be applied to?
The most valuable of these theories is what they teach us about the general laws of human society.Formulas are not general laws.

Modern China lagged behind the world, and it lagged far behind.Many people were blinded when they came from a backward China to a developed country.Many people even think that this is eternity, and China will never catch up with foreign countries.They can copy everything according to what they have learned, so that they can keep up with foreign countries.If you don't learn, you can only be in ignorance and backwardness.

Even if China stands up from the mud, they still see poverty and backwardness.Even if China realizes industrialization and begins to become the factory of the world, they still think that what you do is backward.

How many years has Britain been world hegemony since defeating Spain? Just over 300 years.Is it long?It has been nearly 300 years since Mongolia established the Golden Horde.How many years since the US Cold War victory?Is it long?
There is a kind of person who, because others are more advanced than himself, is extremely envious when he sees it, and loses rational judgment.For example, during the epidemic, a particularly prestigious expert said that the Chinese breakfast porridge is not nutritious, and it is better to eat a hamburger like the United States.Countless people argue, some people want to prove that porridge is actually nutritious, but it turns out that it is in vain.He was also ridiculed, saying that patriotic people have no brains.

The question is, is the Chinese breakfast porridge?How big a territory is used to eating porridge for breakfast?Even on such a site, how many people only drink porridge for breakfast?Isn't the breakfast of Chinese people fried dough sticks, pancakes, and meat buns?Not meat buns?Not chive box Hu spicy soup?Not pie ravioli?Several people drink porridge!
It is conceivable that such experts suddenly broaden their horizons when they come to the United States, and feel that they have discovered the truth of the world.I feel that everything here is right, and everything I used to do is wrong.Not to mention that the United States still has hamburgers and Coke. At this time, the Song Dynasty was suppressed and beaten by the Jin army, and some people thought that the Jurchen food was supremely delicious.

Back in ancient times, some people wanted to learn from European voyages and establish colonies.Some people want to learn from the United States and become the hegemon of the world.Design your own ideal blueprint according to the deeds of the circle of countries that emerged in Europe and America in history.how can that be possible?this is China.

China is China, not a foreign country.Just like people are people, not dogs, and don't learn how dogs bite back.

If a person is bitten by a dog, find a stick and smash its dog's head!
